Out of stock
A beautifully preserved piece of Italian saxophone history, this Alexandre Tenor Saxophone—a stencil horn built by the legendary Borgani workshop—offers a rare blend of European craftsmanship and vintage tonal beauty. Likely produced in the 1960s, this horn carries the signature warmth and charm that defines mid-century Italian saxophones.
The finish has developed a rich vintage patina, enhancing the visual character of the instrument and giving it a soulful, aged elegance. The tone is lush, round, and vocal, with just enough edge to cut when needed—perfect for ballads, straight-ahead jazz, or anyone chasing that smoky, expressive sound.
The horn has been well-maintained, with clean keywork, solid intonation, and a resonant response across the range. It plays effortlessly and offers a uniquely lyrical quality that stands out among more common American-made tenors.
Features:
Made by Borgani (Italy) and stenciled under the Alexandre name
Original darkened finish with a handsome vintage patina
Lush, centered tone with smooth projection
Fully functional with solid key action and good pad seal
A rare, expressive horn for players and collectors alike
